Russia is jamming 'sophisticated' US weapons being used in Ukraine, making them useless, report says
Business Insider ^ | August 4, 2023 | Tom Porter

Bryan Clark, a senior fellow at Hudson Institute, a US think tank, told BBC News that Russia's electronic-warfare capability had significantly improved during the conflict with Ukraine.

He said that Russia was now deploying hundreds of small, mobile electronic-warfare units along the front line, having previously relied on large, cumbersome units that could be easily targeted.

Clark told the BBC that Russian technologies were able to jam missiles' GPS coordinates, disable Ukrainian drones, and suppress Russian radar signals that were used by Ukraine to identify targets to attack.

Both sides have been adapting and learning how to work with, and upgrade the technology.

..... I'm pretty sure the Russians have captured at least one complete weapon and device that we have on the ground in the Ukraine allowing them to counter our tech with some of their own ......

Great little money making machine ya got there Joe Biden... too bad your Admin team is ideologue amateur hour 24-cycles daily, thus your desire to make wild nuclear accusations via CNN Opeds -— telegraphing our inability to confront Russia with conventional forces. At least Joe, your Admin has signaled American near-term disengagement in Ukraine. Maybe your nearly dangerous weakening or outright harm to Russia won’t get lots of people killed.

The US Military is handicapped significantly if called on to use conventional forces... a few or more weeks. That the SecDef is essentially giving his company DOD Defence contracts. Ukraine was the perfect foil to rid western arsenals of Afghanistan era Military artillery and vehicles. Now America uses Defence industry to keep the US economy running while selling enough to rearm ourselves at our NATO Customer sales. Our friends love buying US Military equipment but many may sell some allies forgot the alliance.

Joe Biden’s woke diplomacy team are not suited to anything but American politics. Our domestic RNC-DNC relationship is like a bad divorce involving an “emotionally while mentally ill” behavior. This behavior is bad

Global America needs to focus on our domestic issues.

We’re in serious trouble without numerous fixes in the near term.

Russia has an equal number of STEM graduates as the USA, with half the population.

And their STEM is not poisoned by woke/DEI the way the Western programs now are.

“This is what I warned about at the start of the war when Russia was doing terrible. Eventually they will learn some stuff and that will make our nation more vulnerable in the long term.”

Very true, their system can adapt on a dime, as they’ve totally STREAMLINED their processes. In the US, anyone dealing with the federal government knows that it makes the old Soviet Communist system look efficient.

“Remember when Russia was looting Ukraine washing-machines to extract the micro-chips?”

I think Babylon Bee had an article about Russia now looting Western tanks for Microchips to get their washing-machines to finally work.

“Russian schools are tough. Look what we are graduating.
So it always made sense to me that Russia has young men who are far more educated and helpful.”

The ONE THING that the Soviet Communist system was good at was education...Russia kept that part of the Communist system.

Meanwhile, the US...

IIRC in the Soviet Union, they decided at a relatively young age, who would go onto a high school education, and who would basically be condemned to working as a factory worker for their whole life.

“IIRC in the Soviet Union, they decided at a relatively young age, who would go onto a high school education, and who would basically be condemned to working as a factory worker for their whole life.”

I think most countries do that, allows the smarter kids to advance quicker (and with less distractions). But I believe that even someone at the bottom 10% percentile there could run circles around any American at the 90% percentile...as even their not-so-hot students get a damn good education there.

Well, yes, this is true, but remember, both sides are learning and adapting, so it's true for Ukraine, too.

Well, Biden DID leave hundreds of millions of dollars worth of our best weapons in Afghanistan... for the Chinese to reverse engineer. So yeah, they've got our best stuff. And know how to defeat us... Is anyone surprised?

Well, I am surprised that this came from Business Insider.

That Russians are adapting?, ... not so much.

The M30 and M31 GMLRS rockets have a inertial guidance backup that’s immune to jamming.
